  10. Melt oleo; pour over turkey.
  11. Cover wings and legs with foil.
  12. Pour remainder of broth on turkey.
  13. If needed, add water so you have 2 inches of liquid in roaster.

  15. Turn oven down to 325 degrees; cover and continue cooking until legs begin to pull away from turkey.
  16. Baste occasionally.

  18. When done, remove stuffing to serving dish.
  19. Good luck removing turkey from roaster. Carve, serve, and give thanks.
